I'm always surprised how much more expensive stuff like this is in Colombia.

Do they have killer retail import taxes on electronics?

Cheers,
Terry

I would be more worried about LORE arriving at my house to tie me up and rob me if I agreed to buy the damn thing. Why the only Bogota condition? Why not sell it on mercadolibre with their convenient payment conditions and mail the ipod to the buyer!

A little off topic, but I'm curious.

I saw the latest model of the 8 GB iPod Touch yesterday. It was $270 USD plus tax at BestBuy. How much would one of these cost in Colombia?

I wanted access to health care, housing and education, but, no, I get potholes, trash and silicone tits instead. -Desi.

Terry,

Regular import taxes are very high in Colombia 10% arancel plus 16% iva, not including shipment.

As for price, I believe 479,999 is a very fair price considering it's around 20 bucks higher that a regular retail store price (USD250) in the states without tax.

Pavo and Morphus. I can't really comment on your kidnapping and theft warnings. Leave the gringo paranoia behind and enjoy life and our country.
